| | Understanding the Basics of Adenomyosis |
 | | Adenomyosis Uteri is a glandular derangement of the muscle of the uterus. | | | This theory is supported by the fact that during microscopic examination of adenomyosis in the lab, it is possible in some cases to follow the endometrium in a continuous non-broken layer from its normal location on the lining and observe it invading the muscle. | | | Another helpful part of the history is that the pain of adenomyosis seems to begin later in life than does the pain of endometriosis. |

| | Adenomyosis - An Internal Uterine Endometriosis |
| | Conservative surgery for adenomyosis is about 50% effective (24), so it is still likely that hysterectomy is more successful in treating it even though we do not know for sure what the success rate of hysterectomy is. It is probably that hysterectomy is at least 80% or more effective. | | | Hysteroscopy and needle biopsies of the uterus have also been used to diagnose adenomyosis (9), but they do not seem to be practical in a clinical sense because they miss so many areas of the uterine muscle where endometrial glands can be found. | | | Gonadotropin releasing agents (e.g., Lupron ®) can be used to treat adenomyosis but the problem is that the adenomyosis seems to recur after discontinuing the therapy. |

| | Adenomyosis |
| | Adenomyosis, on the other hand, is normal glandular tissue which grows into the muscle probably because of a breakdown in the anatomic separation between the muscle and the endometrium. | | | The good news about adenomyosis is that it is a benign condition. | | | The word adenomyosis literally means glandular muscle condition (adeno- = gland, myo- = muscle, -osis = condition), and it is a very good word for the affliction. |

| | If pain is the predominant concern for a patient with adenomyosis, gonadotropin releasing agents are often prescribed as a form of medical therapy. | | | Due to the nature of adenomyosis, which generally affects scattered areas of the uterine wall, the condition is not suitable for localized surgery. | | | Occasionally the pain associated with adenomyosis may radiate to other nearby areas, especially the lower back. |

| | With modern imaging techniques, adenomyosis can be diagnosed without surgery and thus we are able to begin to understand the natural history of the condition and to test the effectiveness of non-surgical therapies. | | | With the initial positive reports of uterine embolization as a possible therapy, there is hope that alternatives to surgery may soon be available. | | | Endometrial ablation has been attempted, and with very superficial adenomyosis, endometrial ablation can be effective. |

| | Adenomyosis: Endometriosis Of The Uterus |
| | In the case of women who are not concerned with fertility but want to preserve their organs, our approach is to remove as much of the affected tissue and, if necessary, decrease the size of the endometrial cavity. | | | If the diagnosis is suspected pre-operatively, then a laparoscopy and a long needle biopsy can be performed, whereby a needle is inserted into the back of the uterus to collect a tissue sample for pathological testing. | | | Traditional medicine states that since most women with Adenomyosis are beyond child-bearing age, the uterus is no longer relevant. |
